3:59 p.m. Just about even at the start, but D'Aprile began shaking and skating, taking out the 330-foot timing reflector,
disqualifying his run (he didn't get a time anyway, finished in Hossler's lane).

Wantye had a great light and a career-best ET and speed enroute to a holeshot win over Stanton. Neal Wantye's MOV: 0.0550
seconds (approximately 17 feet). That is the quickest winning ET of the round, by the way.

Taylor had a good light, but Smith had an even better bulb. However, Smith's car kept drifting left and he took out the battered
330-foot timing reflector, then finished in Taylor's lane. Taylor now has low winning ET of the round and he will have lane choice
against Wantye in round two.

Just about even at the start, but Scruggs had the lead at 60 feet and stretched that, even before Stott's engine expired in
dense cloud of smoke. Scruggs matched Taylor's winning ET and will have lane choice against Millen in round two.

From the trail of
oil dry, it looks like Stott's containment device ("diaper") overflowed at about 1,000 feet and the cleanup goes halfway to the
turnoff.

Both drivers ran career-bests in qualifying here, but Thompson needed a big holeshot or something strange to have a chance here.
He got a break, maybe -after waiting aptiently through the entire oil cleanup, Pesz's car refused to fire. The crew got it to kick
over at the last minute and he made a very short burnout, stopping short of the starting line, but when the light went green, Pesz's
car went silent again, rolling about 50 feet. Thompson gets the lucky win, but won't have lane choice against Tindle in round
two.

Final pair. The light went green and this time it was the slower qualifier with problems at the green. Rister's car spit out the
blower belt and rolled a few feet, while Snyder was making yets another solid run. He will have lane choice against Hossler in round
two.
